Random Thoughts

I really have no topic to discuss today. It's a rare day off for me in that I've been home all day, lounging in my bathrobe. I need to hit the gym but before I go, here are my random thoughts for today.

*I saw The Lovely Bones after months of anticipation (and after reading the book at least 6x). The movie wasn't as good as the book and I ultimately decided that it would really suck to be murdered and never found.

*I wish I had money so I could travel the world. I don't want to do a whole lot with this life of mine but travel is definitely on my list. Places I must see are as follows: Germany, England, Scotland, Ireland, Poland, Austria, and Bavaria. In the US, I'd like to go to Boston and Salem, MA; Portland, OR; Seattle (again), NYC, Connecticut; Woodstock, VT in the winter and Washington DC again. It would be so awesome to be able to take my boys to all these places. I want them to see the world.

*I bought season 4 of Prison Break for Robert for Christmas because we missed the last half of the season when it aired. We have yet to watch it and I'm dying to find out how the series ended.

*Next month marks 51 years since the death of one of my all-time favorite musicians, Buddy Holly. I wish I was alive back then so I could have seen him live. He was so passionate about his craft AND he was a good ol' Texas boy.

*My hair is rapidly going grey. I find (and pull out) grey hairs right and left these days and it has nothing to do with stress.

*I tend to take my parents for granted and I never realize it until I hear about old friends' parents' health problems or deaths. It doesn't ever really occur to me that my parents (and grandparents) will no longer be with us one day.

*When I find out that a particular favorite food of mine is high on calories, I will stop eating it cold turkey. For example--I used to LOVE the Peanut Butter Moo'd at Jamba Juice but when I found out that the large one had over 600 calories, I never touched it again and it's been over 2 years now.

*My oldest child will be 13 at the end of March. It does not seem possible that he'll be 13 but it sure has been an adventure watching him grow and become his own person.

*I always get sad when I lose contact with people who were once an important part of my life. Sometimes it makes me wish that I'd never met them at all.

LOL. Love the sushi pic.

Too bad about the movie, I do want to see it. The book gave me chills. LOVED Prison Break. Sad to see it end. And I agree about the parents thing. So true!!!!!!!!

I see you're going HARD with the Sushi. Looks delicious.

We share the same sentiments regarding our children. They grow up so fast, right before our very eyes. I often reflect to a time where I couldn't wait for my 16 year daughter to walk. LOL!

There aren't too many days that pass where I fail to have thoughts of my grandmothers. I never really knew either of my grandfathers.

I remember watching a movie of Buddy Holly [and Ritchie Valens] - he appeared to be a charismatic individual.
